I used to have a little publishing company called Hagstone Publishing, and back in May of 2019, Hagstone ran a 30 day Plant Spirit Ally Challenge. Many people participated via websites and social media, and it was a lovely month. I made some lasting friends through that challenge as well. When I decided to move on from Hagstone, I took down the website, and the challenge guide and resources page became unavailable.Since then I’ve had a few inquiries about the challenge, so I decided it’s time to

Most people are familiar with the subject of affinities when it comes to certain energies, deities, practices, and tools of the craft; you may be able to confirm all, or most of, these for yourself with ease. Seldom, however, do you find the opportunity to discover which plant spirits have an affinity for you. This reading will identify that botanical spirit which has the strongest link to you at this moment in time, and will allow you to explore an ancient, fulfilling, and peaceful craft that you may wish to ultimately integrate into your own practices. This reading will include detail regarding the magical nature of your botanical association, its properties, what this alliance means for you at this moment in time, and why it will be beneficial to you. It will also include a ritual that can be performed to call on the spirit of your botanical spirit ally so that you can work with them directly, if you so wish. 🔮For your reading, please send me any information you feel is relevant, including your name, any other parties involved, date of birth, specific questions or concerns, etc. If you forget anything from your purchase notes, you are welcome to message me once your purchase is made, and as long as it is in a timely manner I'll be able to apply that to your reading. PLEASE NOTE that if I don't receive any clarifying information from you within a few hours of your purchase, I will still be able to do the reading, but the answers you receive may be regarding someone or something else on your heart. The spirits will likely choose to inform you about who or what is impacting you the strongest if nothing is specified. If you don't have anyone or anything specific in mind, no worries! The reading will carry on as intended! 🔮Every reading is conducted with a spirit companion or spirit guide who comes forward to offer their advice, each one on a case by case basis for who feels most compelled to answer your questions. This means that a reading may be done in multiple ways, as each spirit has a preference for their method of divination - this may be done through tarot cards, oracle cards, Elder Futhark runes, etc. You are very welcome to ask about your advisor once the reading is complete! 🔮Once purchased, your reading will be added to the queue, which may take up to two weeks to complete. Readings will be compiled in PDF format (or otherwise if you'd prefer!), and sent through the Etsy message system, along with the picture of your reading spread for your records. As a thank you for your thorough reading of the information here, write "Goldweather's merry mother" in the customization bar along with your info to receive an extra message from the spirits (which may or may not be pertinent to this specific reading) for free! Please note that due to Etsy's digital download policy, the file available for download at purchase is simply another image of the listing picture, not the reading itself. 🔮If you have any questions at all about my practice or the reading itself that hasn't been answered here, please feel free to ask!

Native to China, the Selaginella Peacock is named for its stunning varying, shimmery, iridescent, blue green coloring of the lacy, fern-like foliage. Its metallic turquoise colors and dainty shingling foliage really are a work of art! This remarkable plant is classified as a "fern ally" (or lycophyte) due to its delicate fern-like foliage, but it is commonly considered a moss because of its low growth habit. Light: Selaginella is a true low-light plant, and its brilliant blue hue stays vibrant under minimal light conditions.It is definitely one to keep out of direct sunlight though, as its delicate foliage will quickly scorch.Water: When kept indoors, these plants like to be thoroughly soaked. Like ferns, this plant needs watering more frequently than most of my tropical houseplants, so just make sure you test the soil with your finger every couple of days to see if it needs a drink. It really will do best with consistent, regular watering. We like to bottom-water these plants, as the delicate foliage does not like to get or stay wet. Humidity: Selaginella thrive in a humid environment and will appreciate it if you add a humidifier or pebble tray to your plant care routine. These plants also do awesome in a terrarium!This plant is pet friendly! Photographs are representative of the species and not always the specific plant shipped. Variations in size and shape should be expected. All plant sales are final.
